Katie Young and Sam Scranton make music together as Beautifulish. They fuse free improvisation with composed musical material. Tightly interwoven gestures smudge into expansive textures. Rainbows of noise produced through haptic and breathy friction create proximity and space, timbre and harmony, pitch and rhythm. Young and Scranton use electronics and amplification to augment their primary instruments; Young plays bassoon, Scranton, percussion. The result is an integrated sound world that exists as its own beautifulish thing.
